GOVERNOR FOR STEAM-ENGINES.

SPEGIFICATIGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 274,553, dated. March 27, 1883. Application filed Angust- 18, 1382. (No model.) y

To all whom it may concern Be it known thatI, Margins I. BEAUDREAU, of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, have invented an Improvement; in Governors for Steam-Engines, Water-Wheels, and Windmills, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in the use of the coinhination of rotating fans and driving chains in the manner specified, hy which I am able to Work it either in a horizont-al or perpendicular position. i

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the entire machine. Fig. 2 is avertieai section on the line 1 2, Fig. l; and Fig.

S is a bottom view of the rotating cross-head,

to which the fans are connected by chains.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The plate A, which supports the driving'- shaft B, may be attached to a building orirame of a machine on which it is in use. In the hangers ce a turns the shaft 13, driving with ruiter gearing the cross-head C,Whioh revolves upon the shaft D, which is securely fastened to the frame A.. Upon the shaftzD is a collar, E, which holds in position the cross head.

I Below the collar E the shaft D acts as a guide for the fans F, which are driven by chains from the cross-head C, and which ascend as the velocity increases and fall as it decreases by the partial winding and unwindiug of the chains. The hub I of the fans F is bored so as to slide up and down on the lower part of the shaft D. At the base of the hubi is a rod, Gr, secured to the hub by a nut, H, in such a manner as to allow the fans to revolve Without turning the rod. This rod may beextended to impart motion to an engine-valve or the gates ofa Water-Wheel or the fans of a Windinill.

What I claim as inynvention and improvement is Y In a governor, the combination of the fans F, cross-head C, and chains K, so arranged that the fans F are connected to the crosshead C and are revolved and lifted by the chains K, substantially as described.
